  Summary

  This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />Timeline is the only application or file the fails miserably to be indexed by Spotlight. No matter what you do, it does not appear in the Spotlight searches. This is a major show stopper for everyone who starts programs via Spotlight. To make it worse, the developer does not reply to bug reports, nor fix the problem that he knows of for quite some time because of bug reports from others. I cannot recommend this program because if the non-existing support (imagine what happens if you have a really big problem), even though it is otherwise a decent piece of software.

• This Is Perfect for Making Timelines

  Summary

  This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />This makes timelines and it couldn't do it more easily. I wasn't in the mood to create a timeline in Word or Pages, so I downloaded the demo to give it a try. I then helped my daughter make a timeline for her 8th-grade English report, printed it, purchased the license in order to eliminate the water-mark, and printed it again. I was amazed at how simple it was to use and how elegant the resulting timeline looked. One obvious feature that is missing is the ability to scale the timeline to a specific size to fit a maximum number of pages (say, if you want the timeline on a single page) -- you have to export to a PDF and then scale the PDF. It's a bit pricey, maybe, but so what? It saved me at least an hour of screwing around with Word or Pages to make a timeline and gave me a higher quality, more easily editable and correctable product than either.

• So far, so good

  Summary

  This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />I needed something to do a timeline for a fairly important presentation and I happened to look at VersionTracker for a solution. I found Bee Docs Timeline. Figuring it out was pretty easy, though it wasn't clear that to save any new entry, you had to "click" out of the data form. Once I had that down, it was clear sailing. The only recommendations I'd have at this point are to have the developer consider putting a "Done" or "Ok" button on the data form (or make it easier to understand how to save the entry), and something that would allow you to warn you when you're about to make your timeline way too many pages to print. Other than those two suggestions, it's the best way I've found to create timelines. The kids are even using it for their junior high school projects, so how hard can it be?
